Windows 7: Is there a doctor in the house? (NOT for the squeemish)

I think we should ask Qdos what he thinks of the NHS and whether he could have afforded these knee operations himself.
I know I could not have afforded the treatment that saved my life.
Obviously any organisation as big as the NHS is not going to be perfect but how a civilised nation like the USA can continue to support it's antiquated medicine for the rich/prudent only system is beyond me.

The NHS... if I were to comment in full this would be one epic post...

In my opinion they've been good to me over this operation and the follow up care I've had thus far - although I should stress that it's still just five days after surgery!

The reason I needed the procedure was, however, solely because they used a two bit surgeon the first time around - who didn't do the procedure comptetently or properly, and left me to suffer for almost five years before a different orthopaedic specialist decided that I wasn't complaining about nothing...

Mixed feelings therefore... however they seem to aspire to continually improve, and unlike many other countries - it's even done FREE of CHARGE...

Federal laws in the US prohibit someone from not being treated at any hospital they enter for treatment, there's even safeguards in place so that said hospital CAN NOT remove or in any other way refuse to treat someone that has no insurance, once you enter any hospital you WILL be treated.

No one goes without care if they seek it.

True, but if uninsured, you'll be paying up the keister for most likely, the rest of your life. And if you don't make it through whatever medication issue have and have received treatment uninsured, guess who gets to pay? Your family.

US health care needs major upgrades, I am uninsured and was given medicaid here in FL to help cover the cost of my kidney surgery, the surgeon disliked me for many reasons which caused problems getting the care I needed. Being Florida I was legally bound to this doctor, now I suffer pain on a daily basis and can do nothing about it because of the current laws in my state.

It sounds like the public health he is getting for his leg is better then what he could get in the US and I really hope he recovers better then I did.

Guys, the leg ain't clear of the haemorragic discolourations yet, and I can't bear my full weight on it yet either, the knee, ankle and foot are still extremely tender, and the knee remains blown up and swollen of course - but the staples are all out and (apart from the icy weather...) I can get around on crutches and have even been back to work on an 'as and when I can' basis a little this week...

Recovery will be 3-6 months in total, it's still early days... I'm keeping my fingers crossed I've had a proper repair job done and it'll not cause me problems following convalescence...

One paramedic
One transport to hospital in ambulance with two attentative paramedics

Great care, great nursing staff and doctors not perfect but it works :)

The New Doctor (Doctor Who)Figured I'd check to see what the rest of you think about the new Doctor. Personally, I thought David Tennant was brilliant, but Matt Smith seems to have the role down pretty well. I'm excited to see the next episode /w Winston Churchill and more daleks.
